Yes it gets a little more crowded than a few years ago but the people who come are all in the same mellow and respectful mood. Cheng, mariona and Miguel are amazing and hard working people who deserve 10 stars each. Such great service and cold beers and decent food. Living there is quiet and peaceful and it was really...

We stayed for 10 wonderful days for the New Year celebrations and could not have been happier than we were at Sanom. Our group had three bungalows and although the accomodations are very basic, we left with a taste of luxury: Waking up to a perfect, nearly private clean beach and a cup of coffee from the always generous and...

Good points: Beautiful little bay. That's about it. The beach suffers from the long tail boats passing from Pattaya Beach from about 8:30am until approximately 10:00am and then the hoards arrive from the neighboring beach to find serenity and end up crowding it anyway. We did stay here during peak season (Xmas) so it may be quieter during other periods... More

We stayed at Sanom Beach over Christmas for 5 nights. Unfortunately, we didn't find the peaceful paradise we were expecting. The beach is small and there is very little seating provided. The beach became very crowded during the day by people coming over from the main beach. There is very little seating provided and this was always taken over by... More

I've just returned from Sanom Beach. What can I say? returned? Let's say I have physically returned but, in reality my mind and heart is still there. I arrived in Ko Lipe together with 3 friends after a long trip searching for a place that would have made me feel good and my first impressions of the island were not... More

Lovely little white beach. Tends to get overcrowded, with day trippers from Pattaya beach. Good snorkelling. Accommodation expensive, considering : basic bamboo hut, no flush toilet, no top sheet, nylon bottom sheet, broken outside tap, bathroom light not working, restaurant closes at 4pm.. Over relaxed management. The little communal space there is, is taken over by them and you feel... More

We stayed there in December for 6 Days and booked the first 3 days in advance to have a place to stay. Our plan was to have a look aroung to check if there are other nice accommodations. After our stroll we decided to book 3 more nights. There is no other place on this island for this price. The... More

This resort is placed at a perfect spot, right at the beach front. The beach is very nice and has only a few visitors daily. Snorkeling is also very good. The staff is very friendly and the food is quite good. The bungalows are a bit austere but in this place, who cares? You are in paradise! Any drawbacks? Well,... More

If your after a quiet, 'real' Thailand beach feel this is the place to go. The whole island is perfect but Sanom Beach especially is an oasis in the bustling tourist trap of Thailand.
